********
Kurama gave Hiei a long look.
"Okay. Say that again. Slowly."
"I . . . was . . . turned . . . into . . . a . . . hu . . . man."
"You."
"Yes."
"You."
"Yes."
"YOU."
"YES!"
"You."
"YES! ME! GET THAT ALREADY! ME! HIEI!"
"You."
Hiei face-faulted, then went back to eating. "Mmmmmmmmm . . . Look! I don't even have the Jagan any more!" As if to prove his point, he pulled off his headband. Sure enough, no trace of the Jagan eye could be found on Hiei's forehead.
Kurama seemed to come out of the daze. "I can't believe this."
Hiei looked up from his fifth bowl of rice. "You know, getting turned into a human makes you HUNGRY."
"What turned you into a human?"
"I don't know . . . it's in the note . . . YOU should know . . . Koenma will die."
"But . . . Hiei . . . I never GOT a note."
Hiei choked on a lump of rice. "W-w-WHAT?"
"And Koenma doesn't LIKE pigeons."
"You're right."
{Flashback}
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" yelled Koenma. "GET OFF MY SQUID, YOU FIENDISH BIRDS!!!!"
The pigeons continued pecking away, with the occasional "coo".
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" cried Koenma. "IAMTHEALMIGHTYKOENMA! DO NOT DISOBEY MY ORDERS!"
The pigeons took off with the squid in tow.
"SWINE ON WINGS! THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE!"
Everyone sweat dropped.
{End Flashback}
"Then . . . who sent it?"
Kurama stared at the note, then went and lit a candle, holding the sheet of paper just above the flame.
Letters appeared. Slowly they made out—
HA HA FOOLISH MORTAL.
"I always thought that letter was evil."
"Please, Hiei, a letter can't be evil."
OH YES I CAN.
"GAH!"
"I told you! SEE! I TOLD YOU I TOLD YOU I TOLD YOU!"
Kurama led Hiei upstairs. "Well, let's see. I'll research this, and in the meantime, you'll have to stay here. Any bright ideas on how to convince Mother?"
Hiei stared blankly.
"Greeeeeeeeeeat . . ."
*********
After forging a letter entrusting Hiei to Mrs. Minamino's care for a while, the two prepared to sleep. Kurama dragged an air bed out and started to fill it.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!" Hiei yelped.
"SSSSSSH! It isn't alive; it's just being filled with air."
"Oh. I knew that!"
"Suuuuuuuuuuure."
Hiei sat on it. "Kurama . . . it's too soft . . ."
Kurama pumped it up some more.
"Now it's too hard."
Release.
"Too soft."
Pump.
"Too hard."
Release.
"Too soft."
Pump.
"Too hard."
Release.
"Too soft."
Pump.
"Too hard."
Release.
"Too soft."
Pump.
"Too hard."
"WOULD YOU RATHER SLEEP ON THE FLOOR?"
"It's fine."
"Good," snapped Kurama, climbing into his own bed. He lay beneath the fox-printed sheets, getting sleepier, and sleepier, and sleepier, and—
"Kurama, I can't go to sleep."
Greeeeeeeeeeeeat.
"Count sheep."
"What are sheep?"
"You don't know what sheep are?"
"No . . ."
"Count katanas, then."
There was a moment of silence. Kurama slipped into a light slumber—
"I miss my katana, Kurama. Did I ever tell you I named it? I named it Head Chopper . . ."
Kurama groaned. —I'll chop YOUR head.—
"It was my best friend, Kurama . . . and it disappeared when I became a human. Along with my cloak. I miss Head Chopper."
—Suck it up.— Aloud, he said, "Well, why don't you go to sleep and DREAM about your katana?"
"Head Chopper."
"Whatever."
There was another pause. Kurama began to dream—
"I'm not sleepy."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
"You're going to wake your mother up. You know that?"
"Darn . . . you . . ."
********
{The Next Morning}
Mrs. Minamino was making breakfast when the doorbell rang. She went to open it.
"Hello," said the boy standing there. "It's me, Hiei."
